Additionally, the gene choline O-acetyltransferase (CHAT) located on chromosome 10 was discussed for conveying risk towards AD, but the results are ambiguous. We examined a possible association of nineteen single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the CHAT gene in a longitudinal cohort study, the...
